In Other Words
"Salt, when dissolved in water, may disappear, but it does not cease to exist.We can be sure of its presence by tasting the water. Likewise, the indwelling Christ, though unseen, will be made evidentto others from the love whichHe imparts to us."~Sadhu Sundar Singh~
I'm not even sure what to say about this...it seems so self explanatory. But maybe we try too hard to BE somebody in our own right...to be tough, to not be vulnerable. We block the flow of love, the salty water gets bottled up, so to speak. It was never our love to begin with...we are not salty enough on our own. We must decrease so He can increase. It's simple really. Be vulnerable, be gentle, forgive, be tender, stay true to your convictions and don't be afraid. Don't try to be yourself more than you try to show others who HE is.
Just think about it.

you are so right...maybe if we all would stop trying to be what we were NEVER intended to be...we would all be happier and the world would be a much "saltier" place...thanks for making me think!!

I couldn't say it any better. If we would "just think about it" more people would probably see Christ a lot more!

Well said. If we remembered to be ourselves more often, the true light of Christ would shine through more. Vicki http://anabundanceofblessings.blogspot.com/

But maybe we try too hard to BE somebody in our own right. This is totally true. I'm guilty, I know. I feel like I have to try so hard to do what's right when sometimes I just need to let God work through me. Camy
